Newton Main Street

The mission of Newton Main Street is to preserve the history, invest in the future, and develop pride in our downtown district through community involvement, volunteerism, and private-public partnerships within the Main Street district, the heart of Newton. Newton, the proud county seat of Jasper County, is a thriving community. Our centrally located, historic downtown defines our character and culture. Downtown Newton is a visually stimulating showplace and a vibrant district with diverse shopping, dining, living, and entertainment. A cohesive design plan and complementing financial incentives encourage property owners to invest in their buildings and respect a balance between downtown’s historic integrity, modern elements, and improvements. A recently completed downtown streetscape incorporates sustainable practices, honors our community’s history, and enhances downtown as our central gathering place. Newton Main Street is the hub for communication, community buy-in, local partnerships, and strong local leadership. A clear, implementation-oriented plan continually shows progress and demonstrates success.
